Massachusetts Medicaid Payments to Golden Living Centers Did Not Comply with Federal and State Requirements
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (State agency) did not always adjust its Medicaid per diem payments to Golden Living Centers by the amount of beneficiaries' cost-of-care contributions from resources, such as Social Security and pensions. As a result, the State agency's Federal claim was overstated by a total of $59,000 ($30,000 Federal share).
